Dallas Cowboys Week 12 Injury Report: Defensive Starters Still Out Of Action

With a lot of help from rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, a dominant offensive line and an overachieving defense, Dallas is riding a nine-game winning roll and is 9-0-1 against the spread going into Thanksgiving Day.

The tickets for the last year’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving were the most high-priced ticket ever sold to fans, with an average of $389. Systemplays.com handicapper Doug Fitz, the contest leader, is playing the Vikings (+2.5) and Redskins.

Tony Romo slung the ball around 62 times for over 400 yards and threw three touchdowns.

The 36-year-old is healthy now after being active for the first time since last Thanksgiving.

FILE – In this November 6, 2016, Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate (15) flips into the end zone in front of Minnesota Vikings strong safety Andrew Sendejo, right, after catching a 28-yard touchdown pass during overtime in an NFL football game in Minneapolis. If they can stay in the lanes and stay in their gaps, they will be able to control the Cowboys running game.

Week 2’s matchup between these teams was a prime example of those offenses at work.

The Cowboys are riding a franchise-record nine-game winning streak but aren’t chasing the “72 Dolphins” flawless season. Meanwhile the Redskins had 364 of their 432 total yards through the air. For the Cowboys, it’s going to be the secondary.

“Cousins is on a roll right now”, VegasInsider.com handicapper Micah Roberts said. He has a deep receiving core lead the tight end Jordan Reed.

Cousins had three touchdown passes in the first quarter and was on the bench before halftime of that playoff tuneup. A loss, under this theory, would wake up the team and get it to fight harder going forward.

Cornerback Morris Claiborne and safety Barry Church remain out of action with their injuries.

COWBOYS 3 -ranked run defense (84.4 ypg) limited Ravens to 15 yards rushing in second half of Week 11 win. They will be tested once again on Thursday.

Irvin is thinking from a different side of the brain, a side that goes against most everything sports is about but he has a point. Elliott leads the National Football League in rushing this season with 1,102 yards on 223 carries, averaging 4.9 yards per carry.

The run offense of the Dallas Cowboys is very good.

The second key is, take that ball away.

That being said, die-hard Redskins fans already know what is being said locally about the upcoming matchup… but what is the opposition saying about the Burgundy and Gold? Norman joked. “I was like, ‘Man, if he’s having a good time, I’m all for it.’ It’s a good feeling to know that the owner is having a good time”.

As the accomplishments accumulate, it gets easier for tight end Jason Witten to answer the question of watching Romo, his friend and teammate for all of his 14 seasons in the National Football League, get relegated to secondary status a year after the Cowboys went 1-11 without him.
